What do people assume your type is? (in real life!)

[CuriousFeeling]

One of my ENFJ friends said that I came across as an INFJ to her. An INTJ male friend of mine says that I come across as an INTJ. An INFJ male said that I'm an INTJ. INFJ female friend said that I'm more of an INFJ.

 

[Simplexity]

On first impression I usually give off a somewhat warm vibe. People usually have the expectation that I'm really outgoing, kind, caring, respectful, and genuinely interested in them. Then they quickly see more of my real self and it leads them to assume I'm cold and distant. It's a bit off putting to them. People who know me well wouldn't be surprised to find out I'm INTP. On first meeting you its hit or miss.

 

[Reflection]

People who don't know me well generally tend to think I'm an extrovert. My friends weren't all that surprised with my results (and my mother said: "I always told you you were a weird, unfeeling person.").

 

[Spamtar]

Most people I meet are oblivious of MBTI: However if they knew something about it they would likely assume the following in the following environments:

Club Partying: ESTP
Romancing: ESFP
Work product: INTJ
Work Environment: INTP
Internet chatting: ENTP
Singing: ENFJ
Dancing: ESFP
Dinner party: xNTP

ENTP, I definitely have a somewhat perceiving feel, I chalk it up to my enneagramm type

if I'm not enjoying the company, I might even look like an INTP, but that's your fault

 

[Xenon]

I don't know anyone IRL who's taken more than a passing glance at personality typing. If they did I'd be surprised if most people would be able to type me beyond the obvious 'I'.

 

[Orangey]

People have told me that I seem ISTJ, ISTP, or INTJ. Sometimes INTP, though rarely.

 

[Glycerine]

On first meeting: INTX (come off analytical and critical)
Some think INFP.
Few think I'm EXFJ.

 

[Thursday]

peopel think ESTP at work, or INFJ when with friends.
They are often shocked and even confused when I tell them I am considered a mute because I talk so much and move so often.

 

[EJCC]

The only person I've talked to in real life who REALLY knew about MBTI was surprised that I was an extravert. But I didn't know that person very well.

 

[OrangeAppled]

I've never had a "real life" discussion on MBTI (unfortunately).

Online, I've had friends & family type me through facebook apps. On one, someone typed me as INFJ (I believe it was my aunt, who types INFJ herself, but I think she's possibly eNFJ). On another app, many people typed me anonymously, and the group result was ISTJ, but then many of those people hardly know me at all. A few people who know me better said they chose answers closer to my own and saw INFP as a better fit.

My mom has also read my INFP test results on facebook & I notice since that she's more aware of the fact that I am actually an emotionally feeling person. Because of my reserve & guardedness, she'd previously accuse me of being cold. So it seems she accepts the INFP profile as rather accurate and insightful into my general mindset.

I constantly get compared to my uncle who is INTP, so obviously that's one impression I give to people who know me well. I also get compared to my iNFJ aunt, which is probably why she typed me the same as her. My mom occasionally notes similarities between my ISFP step-dad and me, but it's mainly an "artist" thing. I have a feeling that INTP, INFJ & ISFP could be mistypings of me that people would make in person.

 

[Lethe]

Many people have told me that (after a little bit of time of getting to know me) that I appear to be an INTJ or an ISTP. Of course, I've only tested in the latter, and in no way am I a J...it's merely the vibe I give off when I'm in certain situations.

What do people in your life assume your type is?

Surprisingly, I've been called every type on multiple occasions except for ESTP, ESFP and ISFJ.

The most common non-INTJ associations are:

- ENFP/INFJ [from good friends]
- IXFP/ENTP/ENFJ [from acquaintances]
- ENTJ/ISTJ [from coworkers; team members]
- INTP [from relatives]

 

[Liesl]

INFx by people who see me when I'm primarily under stress conditions

ENFx by people who see me in normal situations

 

[highlander]

They have no idea what type is - other than that four letter thing.

 

[LucrativeSid]

Almost everyone who knows me in real life thinks I'm an introvert. Online, everybody thinks I'm E. Other than that, nobody in real life has known enough about personality types to make a guess.

 

[Lady_X]

i think i've only discussed mbti with people who knew anything about it irl with like 3 people and they already knew i was an enfp...but if i were to pretend that everyone knew about it...i'd say i'd either get enfp or infp. i always act nfp i'm just either in my own world or i'm engaged and out there.

 

[ReadingRainbows]

INTJ

 

[Unkindloving]

People who know about MBTI tend to agree with ENFJ or say ENFP.
NF is always apparent, but sometimes people think i'm Introverted or Perceiving. The introverted assessment was more apparent a few years ago.

 

[Thalassa]

INFJ and ENFJ apparently...I wouldn't be surprised if some members of my family thought I was an ESTJ or something

 

[ChocolateMoose123]

At work: ESTJ. No doubt. Out of work - ISTP.
